What do you get if you run

rpm --query --whatprovides 'mono(gtk-sharp)'

and

repoquery --whatprovides 'mono(gtk-sharp)'

?

In case you don't have repoquery yet, you can find it in the "yum-utils"
package.

There has been a gtk-shark2 update recently, and it certainly provides
these four things which are complained about.

"sysinfo" is not found in the Fedora package collection, however.
I wonder whether that might be of importance. If you "rpm -e sysinfo" it
and then try yum update again, any change?

Complete!
(1, [u'Please report this error in http://yum.baseurl.org/report'])

I haven't the faintest idea what that means; so I google the
error line.

It sends me to a wad of sites on Fedora-forum (which I never have
been able to use; but I see there are discussions back at least to 2007).

So I go to that yum site, and it wants me to register; I try.

Three different browsers tell me its certificate is no good, and
urge me strongly not to go there.

Still you could choose to go there (and add an exception for the
certificate). ;)

I try yum update again; same result. One of the forum threads
that I do get to suggests the OP remove something. I try "yum remove
mono*" -- and get this :

Some of that looks very serious; I don't want to futz with things
named sysinfo nor gnome-desktop-*. (I might, but I once did try some such
thing, long ago, and it removed yum! I had one devil of a time with
that ...)

If it prints a list of what packages it will remove, it won't silently
remove itself.

What makes "yum remove ..." dangerous is that other dependency chains
are much longer and would lead to removing many more packages. Paying
close attention to the printed list and the y/n safety check is
very important.
